Model: The cars are new tooling. All of the cars have close coupler mechanisms and built-in LED interior lighting (*only works in combination with the 15160 car set). Replaceable, scale skirting for the car ends are included for both cars for operation on large radius curves. Total length over the buffers 330 mm / 13".
Prototype: Two German Railroad, Inc. (DB AG), business area Metropolitan Express Train, Inc. / DB Travel & Tourism (currently DB Long-Distance Service) express train passenger cars types Apmz 116.4 (Car 5) and Apmkz 116.2 (Car 6). The cars look as they did around 1999 for the Metropolitan Express Train.
Combining this car set with the 15160 car set and the 16085 locomotive will give you a prototypical METROPOLITAN from 1999.
